At 40 years, couldn’t run 1 km. 5 years later,completed Garhwal Run 74 km- Dehradun to Dhanolti in 10.49 hours, against the 11 hour cut off time. It is never late to start, keep believing in yourself and show up everyday. You are the best, you are your only competition. #running

I was 40. I was 94 kgs. I stopped at 100 metres and went home. Nobody would have blamed me for stopping there permanently. But somewhere between Day 1 and 220 km — I stopped running from who I was. And started running toward who I decided to be. Your Day 2 is waiting. 🏃

An elderly man fell down the escalators at Dadar station, fortunately nothing serious except bruises and shock. I could help him recover, like many others who came to help. No one took any video, Mumbai is one city where people are always ready to help.

In the nineties, the biggest joy was seeing the postman from afar, going to the tailor to collect your trousers, sitting on the floor in a neighbour’s house watching Mahabharat, or polishing your Keds with chalk from class. What gives joy today?

Life is good when you have no loans to clear, no medicines to pop, can sleep 8 hours without any interruptions, trek a hill without panting, accept constructive criticism, avoid negative people, take a break from work every quarter and take each day as it comes.

40 push-ups everyday can change your life.

It takes guts to remove two white ball gaints like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from the T20 team and then go to win the T20 World Cup. BCCI is a well oiled machine, no K L Rahul, no Shreyas Iyer, and yet we win, speaks about our depth and strong systems in place.

@DebashishBose_ I turned away, didn’t want her to see me.

@IamShajanSamuel On the spurt of the moment seeing her gulping at Adani's, What गाली instantly came to your mind ❓️ She was fit for that ❗️

A lady jumped line in the business class/premium card member line, I told her mam, you cannot jump line, she told me, she is getting late for her flight, I reluctantly agreed. Later I saw her having her breakfast at Adani lounge.. how do we progress as a country?

Literally dragged myself out of bed to run today, and felt like going back home after jogging 500 meters, but after finishing 1 km, felt like running 20 km. It is the first 1 km which is always, most people don’t get through the first 1 km. Does this happen with you too?

Surya Kumar Yadav is a bad captain, and in woeful batting form, it is because of the individual brilliance of few players India will play the t20 World Cup finals on Sunday.

@HotHead999111 They will never run by meter at least for next 100 years.

@IamShajanSamuel And the Chennai auto dacoits are protesting for a fare hike 🤣🤣

After Calicut the best Auto drivers are from Mumbai, Chennai is the worst, followed by Bangalore.

@speeler21 Most Autos owned by the police.

@IamShajanSamuel Chennai is easily worse than Bangalore

@golechhaashish Auto Union is very strong, police cannot do a thing .

@IamShajanSamuel Bangalore is the worst anyday

@iyer_narayan Yes…

@IamShajanSamuel Running events r nowadays, a money making schemes for organizers.

Ladakh Half Marathon Reg fees is Rs 4,500 + 7 days of mandatory acclimatization. If you are traveling from Mumbai, cost including reg, food, accommodation and travel will cost upwards of Rs 50,000. I have run thrice in Ladakh and that is enough. Do you think it is worth?

@ramprakash0324 Yeah once in a lifetime , I am not sure why and how I ran thrice.

@zindadilmac Yes sir

@IamShajanSamuel Worth it only for one event .

@Ankit_pandit36 The half marathon reg was around 2 k 3-4 years Back- 100 percent hike but still people are running.

@IamShajanSamuel One kind of experience at such an altitude.

Sanju Samson is in a different league, cool, collected and silken touch. I always knew he had the game to play a match winning knock in a World Cup and he showed it today. #sanjusamson #T20WorldCup
